The economy is increasingly weak, and those in favor of the narrative that the US is in the midst of an economic boom have nothing to stand on but a low unemployment rate.”
Is there REALLY a "low unemployment rate" or is that BS? Seems like everyone is sitting on their arses "gettin a check!" of some sort. During our thankfully brief foray into running some rental houses for some family I was appalled at how blatant people were about getting free money. Didn't try to hide it, were pretty much proud of it.
One lady who was IMO easily 10-15 years away from a decent retirement age quit her job at Walmart citing that with her daughter's "check" and "checks" that got for her kids (I think they were a little special) they could afford to make it. Every time we would service that residence for stupid stuff (change a lightbulb for a tenant?) the place would be chock full of crappy groceries, had cartons of cigs stacked up like she was going to start the post apoc Marlboro Mafia, had a "new" car payment, etc. She was a legacy tenant that was a hold over from the old owners- who were old and got into that "everyone is good people" BS that old people tend to get into to try to deceive themselves either of the world around them or make themselves feel better about their own bad decisions/actions.
Others when they would come to look at possibly renting would brag openly about how many checks and benefits they got. They had no idea who TF they were talking to... I would smile and think to myself "Nope!!!" These ones would always tell me "I want it" expecting that to be it, done deal. I would say "well there is a waiting list, I'll call you if it gets down to you." One mid 30's pair look confused and the nose ringed fellow said "No, I said we WANT it." To which I said "No, you didn't hear me... there is a waiting list, you would be a couple dozen down on that list, I'll call you if it gets down to you." Confused look.
A good portion of the general population truly believes every person will sell their soul for a dollar and they don't really know WTF to do when they encounter someone who won't...
Rant over, back to the question-
How is unemployment supposedly "so low?" Are they not counting all these freeloaders that "get a check?" Or people that just stop looking? Or people that have been on "benefits" for years?
